That same year, Sarasota Mayor Fredd Atkins and representatives of various organizations in the county gathered to decide how to effectively feed the hungry and homeless in Sarasota on Thanksgiving and the holiday season. To accomplish this, they established the Mayor’s Feed The Hungry Program. Its original mission was to collect funds and distribute them during the holiday season. Over the years the program has expanded to include food drives, community feedings and providing food gift cards. The program is now endorsed by the Mayors of Sarasota, Venice, Bradenton, Longboat Key, Palmetto, North Port and the County Commission Chairpersons from Manatee and Sarasota counties. Services are provided to local communities throughout Sarasota and Manatee Counties. The Mayors’ Feed The Hungry Program is an all-volunteer organization. No government funds have been used to support the program. Membership is open to anyone who is interested to help. Member organizations who regularly participate in meetings and activities are eligible to receive donations to distribute free to the needy in their communities. Please visit the website at www.mayorsfeedthehungry.org for more information. Since its beginning, the Mayors’ Feed The Hungry Program has raised over 2.3 million dollars enabling the program to help feed over 350,000 hungry citizens in our local communities. All the money has been raised from generous community support and is distributed here in Manatee and Sarasota Counties. There are over 30 participating organizations and several concerned citizens that participate in the Mayors’ Feed The Hungry Program. Activities include: Community Feedings Food Drives Public Awareness Promotions Stand Down for Homeless Veterans Fund Drives Food Gift Card Distribution 3 Holiday Food Drive Over 275 schools, companies and organizations participate in the annual holiday food drive. Last year over 46 tons of food were collected and distributed to food pantries at no charge in time for Thanksgiving and the holiday season. The Baltimore Orioles supports our food drive by offering their facilities to collect and sort food. 4 iHeart Radio and Firkins Nissan Live broadcasts and food collections Pirate Fest is an annual event held by the Pittsburg Pirates during the winter Grapefruit League at McKechnie Field in Bradenton with fun events for the whole family. The Mayors’ Feed the Hungry participated with a display booth and collected food donations that were given back to the local community’s food pantries. Thanksgiving Turkeys Radio Station “The Joy FM 88.1” had several live broadcasts in the Sarasota and Manatee area inviting listeners to donate a turkey at local Chick-fil-A restaurants in return for a free T-shirt. Residents of University Park collected cash donations which helped to bring the total to 2000 turkeys that were given away free for Thanksgiving. 5 . Nonperishable food collected at our food drives is given away free at local food pantries by our participating members. 6 Stand Downs are one part of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ efforts to provide services to homeless veterans. The Mayors’ Feed the Hungry Program participated in Stand Downs in both Sarasota and Manatee Counties. A variety of services were offered from different local agencies and organizations. including: Food Clothing Medical Screening Hair Cuts Job Placement Assistance Dental Services Bicycle Give Away Music and Entertainment Hot Cooked Meals Flu Shots Amnesty Court Community Services The Mayors’ Feed the Hungry Program provided: Volunteers; Food Gift Cards; and Breakfast for the events. 7 Volunteers manned the booth at the Palmetto 4th of July 4th of July Celebration. Prizes were donated and raffled off to raise money. Shirley Booth, mayor of Palmetto, was there to support us. In lieu of the $5 admission fee the city offered a donation opportunity of five cans of food instead of cash that was donated to the Mayors’ Feed the Hungry Program Farmers Market The Downtown Sarasota Farmers Market provided a booth for the Mayors’ Feed the Hungry Program during peak seasons in the fall and winter. This provided an opportunity to raise funds and promote community awareness for our program. 8 During the holiday season in November and December, Publix Supermarkets raise funds to feed the hungry by taking donations at the checkout as part of the Food- For-All program. Donation tickets can be purchased in $1, $5 and $10 amounts. In April 2015 the Mayors’ Feed The Hungry Program received a donation of $ 25,000. The major part of donations come from local residents and businesses in response to the annual fund drive. With the co-operation of our local utility providers and the services of Rooks Advertising, our direct mail provider, over 250,000 fund drive letters were distributed throughout our bi-county area in November 2014. 9 Food Gift Cards allow People to Shop with Dignity Each year the Mayors’ Feed The Hungry Program purchases food gift cards and distributes them during the holidays. This year over $175,000 in food gift cards were distributed. Food gift cards are given to participating member organizations. Each member takes them back to their organization and distributes them to their clients and through those that assist via food pantries. The program members have established a guideline to give one $10 food gift card per person with a suggested limit of four gift cards per family. Distribution of food gift cards is coordinated among our participating member organizations so that recipients can only receive them at one location. Food gift cards allow people to shop with dignity, allowing them to purchase food items they might not otherwise have been able to afford. Publix Supermarkets provides food gift cards The Mayors’ Feed The Hungry Program purchases food gift cards through Publix Supermarkets. These cards can be used at any Publix store for food only. The cards are programmed to prohibit the purchase of alcohol, lottery tickets or tobacco products. 10 Accounting Accounting services were donated by Joe Pomykala, of the CPA firm of Brent J. Myers, in Sarasota. In addition to the time consuming work of accounting and reporting that he contributes, he also prepares our Form 990 (available upon written request). 501 (c) (3) The Mayors’ Feed The Hungry Program, Inc. meets all requirements specified by the Florida Solicitation of Contributions Act.

  • City of Sarasota Historic Structures Survey January 2020 89
    City of Sarasota Historic Structures Survey January 2020 Harding Circle Historic District (SO00372) Inventory Location: Appendix A, A-161 Map Location: Appendix C, C-10 St. Armand’s Key is a 150-acre island, shaped as an oval, located in Sarasota Bay (Gulf of Mexico), west of the mainland, and is situated between Coon Key and Lido Key. St. Armand’s consists on commercial and residential structures. The commercial structures border St. Armand’s Circle. The residential structures surround the commercial structures in perpendicular and curvilinear streets. The NRHP nomination, completed in 2000, did not record any historic commercial buildings within St. Armand’s Key, and very few residential structures met the fifty-year criteria at that time. Despite the NRHP nomination’s period of significance maintaining its time period between 1924 to 1950, ESI recommends that the period of significance be expanded to the 1970s. 89 City of Sarasota Historic Structures Survey January 2020 Figure 73: Harding Circle Historic District boundary (see Appendix C, C-10). 90 City of Sarasota Historic Structures Survey January 2020 Laurel Park Historic District Inventory Location: Appendix A, A-166 Map Location: Appendix C, C-11 The Laurel Park Historic District is the largest residential NRHP district in Sarasota. It is generally bounded by Morrill Street to the north, Julia Place and Lafayette Court to the east, Devonshire Lane and Brother Geenen Way to the south, and Rawls Avenue on the west. The development is located within the land holdings of Owen Burns, who built the National Register-listed Burns Court district, and “encompasses all and parts of six historic subdivisions.” Most of the buildings were constructed between 1920 and 1957, although most development fell off following WWII (Building picked up again in the early 2000s).

  • The Historic Preservation Support Document
    The Historic Preservation Support Document The inventory and analysis in the Support Document provide the foundation for the Plan portion of this Chapter. The Support Document is not adopted. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF SARASOTA PALEOINDIAN CULTURE PERIOD (12,000 to 9,500 years ago) Paleoindians, the earliest known inhabitants of Florida, lived as nomadic hunters from 12,000 to 9,500 years ago. They roamed over a landscape very different from today. With a lower sea level, Florida’s coastline was much farther out, especially along the Gulf Coast. The total landmass of Florida was about twice the size as it is today and present day Sarasota was located inland. The climate was also different – arid and cool. Water was in short supply and the best sources for water were rivers and watering holes, such as the deep springs of Warm Mineral Springs and Little Salt Springs south of Sarasota. The cool and arid climate, as well as expanded landmass, meant a different array of plants and animals. Mammoths, camelids, and giant land tortoises existed during this period and fossils of these animals have been discovered in and around Sarasota. Typical plants of this period included scrub oak, pine forests, grass prairies, and savannahs. Archaeologists have discovered evidence of human campsites at Warm Mineral Springs and Little Salt Springs. Paleoindians camped around what were then sinkholes and artifacts discovered at these springs demonstrate how animals were killed, butchered, and eaten. Underwater archaeological excavations at Warm Mineral Springs and Little Salt Springs have expanded our knowledge of the Paleoindian period in Sarasota and Florida as well as the North American continent.

Funding for this survey and subsequent reporting was provided by the City of Sarasota. The purpose of this survey was to identify and document existing historic resources. Data gathered during the survey will support a better preservation plan and identify geographic areas that have retained integrity and possess significance for a potential National Register district and aid in planning for future development. The objectives of the survey were to conduct a comprehensive survey and record the architectural resources for the Florida Master Site File (FMSF) utilizing the Historic Structure Form and assess their eligibility for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as well as assess their eligibility for contribution to a local district. All work was intended to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966 (as amended) as implemented by 36 CFR 800 (Protection of Historic Properties), Chapter 267 F.S. and the minimum field methods, data analysis, and reporting standards embodied in the Florida Division of Historic Resources’ (FDHR) Historic Compliance Review Program (November 1990, final draft version).
